The jury ordered Meta to pay the maximum penalty under the law of $5,000 per violation, totaling $375m in civil penalties for violating New Mexico’s consumer protection laws.

Meta: I guess I will only be able to spend $79.635.000.000 on my next useless venture.

I'ma bet that they spend 10 million of that 79 billion on bribes to change the law so this never happens to them again.

Im sure a fair number of reps would do it for the promise of a board position once theyre done slumming it in public service.

What, do you think they are going to have to bribe 1,000 senators?

Well in that case, they're going to have a very bad day.
